    Developmental Priorities

    Balanced
    Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation.
    Intellectual
    The goal is to cultivate "academically strong, creative and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions."

    Curriculum pace

    Standard-enriched
    Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

    Academic culture

    Rigorous
    A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.
    Supportive
    A school with a “supportive” academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a “rigorous” academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.

    Our Take

    Our Take

    VAUGHAN COLLEGE PRIVATE SCHOOL

    Vaughan College was founded in 2009 in order to provide a vibrant, robust preparation for success in post-secondary studies. The core academics are key, as they should be, though so is an attention to facility in their application, within specific disciplines, and as applied across the curriculum. The student body is smaller than the mean, allowing a very close-knit learning environment with a high level of teacher-student engagement. The atmosphere itself is a draw, one in which social currency is gained in part through academic achievement—all students arrive academically oriented, and therefore enter a community of learners that are all of a like mind. The program seeks to develop values as well as a global perspective, which is also a draw. The ideal student is one able to thrive in a challenging learning environment, and able to grow into a sense of responsibility for their learning.

    Message from school leadership

    Come to us with enthusiasm, dedication and a few years of your time, and we will provide you the foundation to thrive in the world beyond school by unlocking your true potential.

    Preparing for secondary school can be a very exciting time. It can also be a time when students feel nervous and unsure about the change. At Vaughan College Private School, we encourage students to become more personally responsible for their learning. This is a great opportunity as well as a great responsibility. However, students do not do it alone. Vaughan College Private  School offers a personalized and progressive learning environment with a faculty dedicated to preparing students for the challenges of the future. Our school values focus on instilling within each student the vision, courage and skills to make their community greater, better and more beautiful than they discovered it.

    At Rutherford Private School and Daycare we offer many different challenging programs in a nurturing environment, with small classes, individual attention, and outstanding teachers as our hallmarks. I believe that children are the basis of our future and it is very important for all of us to be able to come together to believe are children have the knowledge to peruse their life.  Our staff encourages the students that it is not only their future however our future. The “Spirit of Logic” is something that is strongly believed in the school, when everyone around them provides a welcoming environment and strong dedication students are able to achieve anything they believe in.

    We offer many challenging programs and as well as thinking situations for our students to help further their critical thinking and analysis skills. At the centre of our philosophy is the idea that securing a broad foundation of knowledge is essential to a successful adult life. We strive to create a positive experience for students no matter their age. If we are able to create a positive and fun learning experience which they will enjoy, they will be willing to try again the next time and as well as for other different experiences. From Art to Engineering, or even World History to Music, not only do we provide those classes and information, but as well as the support and tutoring needed in order to succeed. Our balanced program helps prepare students for university and beyond, as they mature into well-rounded, lifelong learners and leaders within their community. Here at Rutherford Private School and Daycare, we love to see our students reach their goals and then to surpass them.

      Our Take: primary curriculum type

      Our Take: primary curriculum type

      VAUGHAN COLLEGE PRIVATE SCHOOL

      Liberal Arts curricula share with traditional programs their emphasis on core knowledge-acquisition, but tend to borrow more best practices from the progressive approach. A Liberal Arts program might still feature group work and projects, for example, contrary to the more singular emphasis on tests and essays at a Traditional program.

      RUTHERFORD PRIVATE SCHOOL

      Progressive (sometimes called "in- quiry-based") curricula attempt to place children's interests and ideas at the heart of the learning experience. Instead of lessons being driven by predetermined pathways, progressive curricula are often "emergent", with learning activities shaped by students' questions about the world. Instead of starting with academic concepts and then tying it to everyday experience, progressive methods begin with everyday experience and work back to an academic lesson. Teachers provide materials, experiences, tools and resources to help students investigate a topic or issue. Students are encouraged to explore, reflect on their findings, and discuss answers or solutions.
